Keokuk Kernels T-Shirt (Heavyweight) - Vintage Defunct Baseball Teams - IowaThe Keokuk Kernels, based in Keokuk, Iowa, played in the Illinois Indiana Iowa League from 1952 to 1957 as a Cleveland Indians affiliate. The nickname came from The Hubinger Company, a local corn starch producer that was one of the city's major employers. Baseball in Keokuk ran far deeper than the Kernels era: the 1875 Keokuk Westerns were among the founding members of the National Association, the direct predecessor to today's major leagues, and on

The Keokuk Kernels, based in Keokuk, Iowa, played in the Illinois-Indiana-Iowa League from 1952 to 1957 as a Cleveland Indians affiliate. The nickname came from The Hubinger Company, a local corn starch producer that was one of the city's major employers. Baseball in Keokuk ran far deeper than the Kernels era: the 1875 Keokuk Westerns were among the founding members of the National Association, the direct predecessor to today's major leagues, and on May 4, 1875, they hosted what is believed to be the first professional baseball game played in Iowa.

In 1954, a young Cleveland outfield prospect named Roger Maris played for the Kernels, tying the Three-I League single-season record for put-outs by an outfielder. It was in Keokuk that Maris, who had viewed himself primarily as a contact hitter, learned to pull the ball more aggressively under manager Jo-Jo White. That adjustment pointed toward what came later: 61 home runs for the New York Yankees in 1961, breaking Babe Ruth's single-season record. The year after Maris, 1955, the Kernels put together one of the finest seasons in the history of the minor leagues. They finished 92-34, a .730 winning percentage, and won the Three-I championship by sweeping Peoria and then beating Burlington 3 games to 1 in the finals. They finished 22 games ahead of second-place Waterloo. Pitcher Jim "Mudcat" Grant went 19-3, and catcher Russ Nixon led the league in batting. The 1955 Kernels were ranked 30th on Minor League Baseball's all-time Top 100. That same year, Tim McCarver had his first professional game as a Kernel; future broadcaster Brent Musburger was the umpire working home plate.

The Three-I League (also known as the Illinois-Indiana-Iowa League) was a Class B circuit that ran from 1901 through 1961, with pauses for World War I, the Great Depression, and World War II. Though rooted primarily in Illinois, Indiana, and Iowa, the league also drew clubs from Missouri, Wisconsin, Kansas, Nebraska, and Minnesota as its core membership contracted in later years.

Helps dry, cracked feet
Flavor Name: XL silicone socks 2 pairs
We use these on my husband’s cracked feet in the winter and put on a thick cream under these socks. They are nice because hair, dirt and that kind of stuff doesn’t stick to the outside. I do wish them came in more sizes and colors. They were a little small for my husband, but still worked good enough. My husband isn’t thrilled about wearing pink socks around the house. At least it’s just around the house and not out in public though.

Be aware! Once they are on, do not walk! 😂
Flavor Name: XL silicone socks 2 pairs
I absolutely love these things. But the first time I put them on in the living room. The walk to my bedroom was VERY interesting 😂😂😂 I now know I need to put them on and hang out for a bit, or simply go to bed. They do exactly what I need them to do. Feet feel great afterwards! With the right lotion, only need to use one every couple of weeks.

Transformed my feet
Flavor Name: XL silicone socks 2 pairs
After trying several other brands that actually my size did not have the luxury feeling of these. T although x large they have the BEST feel and function. I put lotion on then slip them on and within a few minutes my dry cracked heals are soft. Really a nice product.
